Those are definitely cicada nymphs, you can see another example on the wikipedia page for Shandong cuisine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shandong_cuisine . Silkworms are also edible but they look more like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beondegi I've had the silkworms, the taste isn't bad but they really smell foul when they're cooking.

 Gansitos. Little sponge cake goodness wrapped in sweet, but slightly bitter, chocolate, with a jelly and cream filling. These little sons of bitches have 10% of your daily fat and carb intake, make up 30% of your saturated fat daily intake, and are jam-packed (ha get it) with 21 grams of sugar. Per individually wrapped cake. These duckers (thanks autocorrect) are from the border of the U.S. and Mexico. This is the gas station level Ho-Ho, Zinger, Twinkie, Nutty Bar, Ding-Dong, Wing-Wang, Walla-Walla, and what have yous from my Mexican friends' childhood. The first time I had one of these was in high school, when my girlfriend's abuela would bring an 8 pack up from Chihuahua for her to snack on over the course of a week. I have eaten 8 today. That's not a random picture off the internet. That's my stash. That's the result of finding a wrapper for one of these while I worked as a housekeeper, and having every memory of these heart-stopping, pancreas-destroying, foot-removing pillows of heaven come rushing back to me. Amazing ships 48 individually wrapped Gansitos anywhere in the world for 30 dollars. They are worth it. They taste like the best goddamn Hostess treat you've ever had in your life. That feeling of elation when your mom let you grab a pack of Cosmic Brownies or Zebra Cakes at the store, the taste of a Lil Debbie or Mrs Freshleys snack cake from your youth, is not a fleeting touch of nostalgia. The Marinela snack cake company took the physical manifestation of those childhood whimsies, covered it in bittersweet chocolate and injected it full of fruit jelly, cream, and insulin blockers. After 8 of these, I'm concerned for my well-being. If diabetes can be an emotion then I am fully loving feeling it. I'm as light headed as my first nicotine buzz, sneaking drags off cowboy killers behind the middle school because cigarettes still got me that momentary high. I still want another one. These are a pure 10/10. If there's any two pieces of advice I give you, AFP thread, it's 1. Buy an 8 pack of Gansitos off Amazon, and 2.  Always serve chilled.

Hell, they're available at a gas station less than a mile from me, along with these:  they're delicious and a smattering of other Mexican cookies, and I'm in the rich, white part of Kansas. Who the hell doesn't have access to Hispanic junk food?

You can get any of those Mexican baked things at even Walmart. My favorite is Sponch. Soft cookie, covered in four beads of marshmallow, sprinkled with coconut, and then finished with a glob of strawberry jam in the middle. Take a Brulee torch and toast it a little. Delicious, and they have a stupid name!

They remind me of the (long-gone) Hippodrome cookies I (and my mom) grew up eating in my grandparents' house; they just had an extra shortbread cookie on top sandwich-style.

I see Gansitos at 7-11 a lot, guess I should try them. When Hostess briefly went away it created a foothold for Bimbo and other Latin American snack cake companies to fill the gap.

As long since promised, have a trip report of the dish known as Ottawa chip truck poutine. This is the chip truck. It has been in this spot, every day from 7-5, for some 20 years. It's name is Lou's Poutine, which is funny because A. They don't just do poutine, and B, its run by a nice cambodian family. I sauntered up and ordered a small poutine, and a coke.  Just loving look at that, yes, that is food piorn (The anti is coming). Piping hot beef gravy, curds so fresh you can hear the squeek and crispy rear end fries, cooking in oil old enough to drink on both sides of the river. The first few bites, as always, were heaven. Rush of salty endorphins, and fat firing the tastebuds and neurons.  This is the mess, the last bite. It has cooler, the cheese is melted and stringy and flavourless. The fries soggy. Now each bite, is a leaden weight, causing sweats, feeling the inevitable corony incoming. My vision blurs, my speech slurred, a sodium headache forming. Shortly after the last bite, I lost conciousness. I awoke to paremedics clucking softly about yet another poutine coma. EDIT: all joking aside, I ate this nearly 5 hours ago and I still havea headache. bunnyofdoom has a new favorite as of 00:34 on Aug 30, 2015 |

Bought some of those Gansitos cakes, they taste loving amazing and the chocolate has a slightly different taste (slightly bitter?) that makes it insanely better then Hostess brand cakes.
